Front diff fluid.

If you are working alone it's going to take awhile, I would set aside an entire weekend.

Okay wasn't sure if there were other gaskets or parts that had to be replaced from the axles being taken out. I have an engine lift from when I replaced my turbos. Really wish I had done the oil pan at the same time

You think that's bad, mechanic told me it was the oil pan gasket. Changed it.. it wasn't it was the rear main seal. Even worse is that I changed the clutch 1 month prior so I had to take it all apart again to do the rear main seal.

wonder if there was a way to replace the oil pan gasket without dropping the axles and front differential
